MY Samira dive boat review

The 37 meters Samira liveaboard, owned by Discovery Divers Red Sea, is offering scuba diving cruises on the Egyptian Red Sea. The beautiful wooden vessel was designed with liveaboard diving in mind and appears in luxury and comfort.

.

Boat Cabins & Layout

The Samira can accommodate a maximum of 20 divers on-boars. Indeed, with 10 double occupancy cabins plus a lot of great communal areas, there’s plenty of space for everyone.

There are 8 cabins, located on the lower deck, which display 2 twin beds. Plus, each has air-conditioning and ensuite bathroom. Moreover, you’ll find 2 extra cabins, said “honeymoon suites” on the top deck. Indeed, these cabins have double beds, a mini bar, air-conditioning and a private bathroom with separate shower stall. Also, those two cabins each have their own entertainment system.

2 liveaboard reviews for “MY Samira”

  1. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY. I was recently effected the travel ban and was supposed to do a dive trip on this boat with Discovery Divers. I explained my situation and let them know I was not able to attend or I would not be allowed back in the US for a minimum of 30 days. Discovery Divers made no attempt to refund or reschedule me. They kept my money and will not respond to me. A customer should not be penalized for a health crisis that is out of their control. I spoke with Mohammad and Somah and neither one of them were willing to work with me. Do your research and book with a different company!!!

    • Hi Nicole! I’m so very sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your travel arrangement with this boat. I truly hope that you will hear from them and that they will offer an arrangement. In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy! Thank you for sharing this here, and for reading Divezone!
